The big stuff:
The VERY first thing you must buy is a CAR SEAT
Crib
As far as a bassinet goes it is up to you remember that a baby will not use this very long.
I would suggest a good pack n play over a bassinet they often come with attachable bassinet and changing tables.
A swing is great for soothing the baby when you have been doing it for hours.
Also a bouncy seat is wonderful.
Our list of don’t needs
Bottle warmers hot tap water run over a bottle works just as well.
Easy to hold bottles; the ones with the hole in the center are impossible to clean.
A changing table… A changing mat is awesome! used one all the time to change where ever I happened to be. Far more convenient.
Many of those tiny cute out-fits. Buy a few you love for special events and pictures. Babies grow fast and these out-fits may only fit for a month.
There are many more needs and don’t needs. It is a personal thing for each of us. This is just a general guide.
